SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 618,483, dated January31 1899.

Application filed October 9 1 8 9 7.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN ROUSSEAU, a citizen of Canada, residing atDetroit, in the county of WVayne and State of Michigan, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in a Combination Oil-Gan andOilstone: Cover, of which the following, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to devise an oil-containing cover for anoilstone that will feed the oil down onto the stone by simply pressing abutton or similar device and which will be extremely simple in operationand of economical construction.

To these ends my invention consists inthe device constructed andarranged substantially as set forth hereinafter.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective Viewof the cover. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the cover taken from thebottom. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section of the can.

The cover or lid is formed of a box A of rectangular shape. 0 is asheet-metalbox of the width of the interior of the box A, but of lesslength and depth than its interior. This box 0 has extensions 0 and e onopposite ends. The projection c enters a notch oin the cover A, and theprojection e is engaged by the spring d, by which means the oil-box issecurely held in the cover. The bottom of the box has an opening 6, thathas a cork valves attached to the end of the lever 19. This Isver 19 ismounted upon a suitable support q, secured to the bottom of the box B. Aspring it passes around the pivot r of the lever 19 and over the valve8, holding it tightly closed. To the other end of the lever 9 is secureda rod 42, projecting through an opening in the top of the box. Saidopening has a tube h soldered thereto extending into the box A capcloses the bottom around the rod n.

of the tube, having a hole therein for the rod n to work in. A spiralspring t' surrounds '7the rod n and rests on the bottom of the tube 1..and sliding in said tube is a cork valve is. Over this another washer l.A button or head a is secured to the extremity of rod n, and betweenthis button and washer Z is a tube m. The tube It has a small opening 0in it near to its attachment to the can. This hole will be normallyclosed by the cork valve is; but when the button a is depressed the rodn depresses the valve 70, so that the hole 0 is left exposed and the airis free to enter the box 0 at the same time that the outer end of thele- Ver p is raised, carrying the valve 8 with it, and thus leaving theoil free to run out through the opening b.

For filling the can a threaded cylinder is secured to one end of the canand has a screwcap f fitting therein, with a leather washer g to keep ittight.

What I claim is- In an oil-containing cover for an oilstone, thecombination of the trunnions q, the lever 19, mounted therein, the valve8 secured to one end of lever 19 for closing the hole b, the spring ufor holding the valve 8 closed, the rod n, mounted on the end of lever19, the cylinder h secured to the can havinghole in bottom through whichthe rod 1?. passes; the spring '5 on rod a, resting on bottom ofcylinder h, the cork valve 70 on'rod n, the washer Z between spring iandcork valve 70, the head a on rod 7%, the tube m on rod n, the washer Z,between the tube m and cork valve is; the tube it having a hole 0 nearthe cover normally closed by corkvalve is, substantially as set JOHNROUSSEAU.
